These molecules can be hydrolyzed from the condensation of an aldehyde and ammonium chloride with potassium cyanide. Visualized on a Ramachandran Plot, these products of the Strecker Synthesis can contain sulfur, such as the one produced by the start codon AUG that is considered essential. Consisting of a carboxylic acid group and a namesake group, they form peptide bonds. Exemplified by methionine (me-THAY-uh-neen) and g
